Amazing stay in a beautiful place

Ron goes above and beyond by not only opening his incredible property to guests, but providing a hospitality experience. He is incredibly responsive, intentional, and even made us a delicious breakfast. The amenities perfectly suited our needs and he has upgraded furniture since the most recent reviews. We stayed with him five years ago and will be sure not to wait another five to come back!

Older camper. It was starting to show its age. We were in a hawt wave when we went but turning the A/C off when you are in is a big problem for me. Very hot when we showed up our first day 115. So it took for ever to cool off. Finding out it was a Vegan kitchen the day when should up was also a big problem for me.

Quiet spot/Beautiful view

Perfect for explorers like us. Very close to Sequoia and King’s Canyon. The best of scenery and rockhounding opportunities. Very nice host. The accommodations could have better pots, pans and kitchen utensils. It was workable even so. This camper had every amenity; good bedding, extra pillows and blankets, excellent TV with access to Prime Movies, internet access, and a good shower. The view was remarkable! It’s not new but there were no bugs or critters inside. No weird smells or nastiness. Better for tougher people who enjoy a less than perfect venue. We are farmers so we were very happy with it. Thank you for allowing us the opportunity to unwind and explore!

Quiet, pleasant retreat spot

Very good for just me traveling alone. Had to drive quite a ways out of the way to Kings Canyon NP because of a road closure. Place would have been a bit too small for two people. Very clean well cared for, goid check in and out instructions.

So, let me preface by saying, if you're a roughing-it-camperer, this is your spot. The best thing about it is the view and the sounds of nature. They do provide Starlink internet and cable TV. The air worked fine, and the heat worked well, but we didn't figure out how to use it (user error), it was almost 5 am and we'd been freezing all night. The description is completely inaccurate. The camper condition is beyond pale. YOU CANNOT PUT TOILET PAPER IN THE TOILET!! This should have been in the description! The couch and recliners were beyond trashy. They were ripped and chaffy... clean, I guess, but just "ick". I had to cover mine in a sheet to even sit. They cover them with half-way couch covers that kept falling and just... well, "ick". That being said, I'm 56 and like a clean area. There were 4 of us and I'm the baby of the group, the oldest is 74! This is a "young person who isn't icked out over pee/poop toilet paper in the trash, peeling doors, walls, and general deteriorated furnishings" place. Again, if none of that bothers you, it's perfect! I mean that seriously... the view, night sky, etc is beyond gorgeous, but then God created all of that. ;) The owner was very nice, he did call to offer more sheets. He did say he's about to update the place with new furnishings, and fix the walls etc, but the toilet paper issue is a deal breaker for me. Just be aware, the pictures must have been taken when new. It is beyond well-used now.

Misrepresentation

It started out with walking into the trailer and seeing three leather pieces of furniture totally worn out and the seats on the couch cushions were all torn up. He had placed lousy looking blankets and all three pieces of furniture, I guess, to make it look better. But needless to say it didn’t! Pictures in his listing showed brand new leather furniture! Then we tried to contact Ron by his intercom and at his front door. He responded to neither attempts! When we went to use the kitchen we discovered it was very very poorly supplied. One frying pan with a handle just about falling off. Could’ve found something better at Goodwill! The only highlight of that first night were the brand new sheets on the bed. The second night when getting ready to shower, looked up and on the ceiling was a huge tarantula like spider. Again, we tried several times to get a hold of Ron through his intercom and also knocking at his door. No response! At that point we up and left and never to return. POOR COMMUNICATION AND DEFINITELY MISREPRESENTED HIS LISTING!!!

Lovely Camper With a Nice View

We were very pleased with how spacious the camper was (for 2 adults). The owner was pleasant and very welcoming. A bit off the beaten path, but it put us in a good starting location for our trip to Sequoia Park.

A unique stay and a wonderful host

Really great stay overnight in Ron's RV. It was set up perfectly ready for us when we arrived and everything was comfortable. Ron gave excellent instructions on how to arrive and even offered an additional mattress as an option for the night. It's remote location puts it right in the wilderness with a beautiful view of the valley and wildlife around. The pets on property were happy to make friends as were we. Great stay all around!

Excellent Escape

This was the perfect location for me while visiting Sequoia and Kings Canyon National Parks. I wanted to be off the grid to a certain extent, but also have solid WiFi and cell service if desired. This met all of those needs, and the host was wonderful, greeting me upon arrival and departure, along with his trusty German Shephard, Luna.

Great stay

We thought the camper stay was great. The owner greeted us and we enjoyed a short visit. He gave us privacy but offered suggestions for a wonderful hike at King’s Canyon NP. His dog Luna was so sweet and stopped by daily to say hi and get some head rubs. This place is in a private, quiet neighborhood which was nice after full days in the park.
